（2023秋·广东深圳·九年级校考期末）Damoqiu was listed in 2016 as an intangible cultural heritage in Longlin county, Guangxi.
Master’s story
For the Yi ethnic group, damoqiu is a traditional sport and celebration during festivals. Li Jingming started playing it at the age of 5.
“Many people simply play damoqiu for fun,” said the 61-year-old. “Yet, taking it as a professional sport is more a game of bravery (勇敢).”
According to Li, since the horizontal pole only hangs on the standing pole, it’s always spinning (旋转), making it hard for performers to keep balance. “If you’re lacking in strength, it’s easy to tilt (倾斜) and you may even slip down from the pole. Sometimes, it’s even dangerous”, added Li.
Besides bravery, as a professional sport, damoqiu also needs great effort and patience.
Training for a new posture sometimes requires more than 10 days. “Repetition (重复) is part of our daily routine (惯例). Though it’s boring, it is worth our effort to keep the tradition alive,” Li said.
As more and more young people leave villages to earn money in the big cities, they have less time to train on the pole and develop new postures. “It’s a pity that damoqiu is disappearing from the competitive stage now”, said Li, adding that he has only had five disciples (徒弟) in training during the last fifty years.
To make damoqiu known to more people, Li not only teaches it in schools voluntarily, but also perform in many competitions to show the sport’s charm (魅力).
“As long as I live, I will continue the mission (使命) of passing on the skills of damoqiu to future generations,” said Li.

（2021秋·广东深圳·九年级统考阶段练习）Italian architect Micoli still remembers how lonely and stressful she felt when she first moved to Shenzhen. When she realized that she could help the newly arrived Italians in Shenzhen, she didn’t hesitate for a moment.
“Doing volunteer work brings me happiness, satisfaction and friendship. Though I’m busy with my work, I enjoy doing it in my limited free time. I introduce Shenzhen’s history and tell them the best places to fix some problems,” said Micoli. “The community organizes dinners and lunches for people to talk face to face.”
Thanks to her help, many members of the Italian community in Shenzhen have settled down and gotten used to the life here over the past seven years.

I’ve also learned to accept different ways of thinking and found ways to improve myself in the process.

（2023·广东深圳·校考三模）How do you eat your food Some people use forks and knives. Some use their hands. And some, like the Chinese, use chopsticks.
Chopsticks, or kuaizi in Chinese, are a pair of thin sticks usually made of wood or bamboo. For a long time, the Chinese have been using these tools for their everyday meals. Holding the pair of sticks between the fingers of one hand, they can pick up any piece of food. The food can be big, or it can be very small. It can be square-shaped, or it can be round. No matter what the food is like, there is no problem!
Chopsticks were invented over 3, 000 years ago in China and had a common beginning by being used as cooking tools. It is thought that the first chopsticks were used to pick out food from a cooking pot. But as creative cooking tools developed, chopsticks were mainly used to have meals.
Using chopsticks creates a more demanding(要求高的) eating experience. You cannot get as much food in your mouth at one time as using a fork or spoon. Since it takes longer to eat, people may eat less. With chopsticks you can eat as much as you like anytime, anywhere. When no fork or spoon is available and eating with your fingers isn’t possible, find any two objects like sticks, place them between your fingers and start eating.
There are some rules and manners to follow when you are using chopsticks. Avoid sticking the ends of chopsticks into a bowl of food. Placing chopsticks into your food makes it look like an offering to the dead. Chopsticks are not musical instruments. Using your chopsticks as drumsticks at the table will get you a serious look from your host. Avoid using your chopsticks to point at people. Use words to get your point across rather than your chopsticks.

（2021秋·广东广州·九年级校考阶段练习）The history of Chinese characters dates back to ancient times, with the history of at least several thousand years.
There are many tales and legends about the origin of hanzi, Chinese characters; there is Cangjie, the legendary inventor of Chinese character, the ancient practice of knot-tying; the eight trigrams (八卦); and ancient painting legends to name a few. It is generally agreed that hanzi began as simple pictures, images that the ancient cultures developed picture based writing systems as well, such as the hieroglyphs (象形文字) of ancient Egypt or the script of the ancient Mayan civilization. Hanzi, however, is the only of these ancient writing systems to survive.
Today, Chinese characters are the oldest continuously used system of writing in the world. Researchers generally agree that the oldest symbols recognizable as Chinese characters are those found on ancient oracle bones. These 3000-year-old symbols, known as,- jiaguwen, were carved on turtle shells or bones of animals. The jiaguwen can give all of us in the modern era insight into how ancient Chinese saw the world around them and into their great creativity in expressing their observations. Take, for example, the modern character jia, meaning home or family. The jiaguwen character looks like a house with a nice pig inside, originating from the ancient idea that a family home has plenty of food. Over thousands of years, this hanzi evolved into a variety of different forms but finally developed in a more stable manner after the unification of China under Emperor Qinshihuang.
When you first look at Chinese characters, you will most likely feel that they are very complicated. However, if you know just a little about how these characters are formed, you will find that they are not nearly as difficult as they seem. About 80% of Chinese characters are composed of smaller parts, known as radicals (部首), which are combined in many different ways to form tens of thousands of hanzi. Fortunately, you need to know only about two or three thousand characters for use in daily life!
As China takes its place in the international community, the Chinese writing system has spread to other countries. Today, many international students are studying Chinese, both the spoken and written language, and are coming to appreciate China’s fascinating culture. And, as China’s culture and society have continued to develop, the amazingly versatile Chinese character (hanzi) have been adapted for use in digital format on computers and other devices. And so written Chinese lives on, spreading Chinese culture wherever it goes.
32．Why did the writer mention Emperor Qingshihuang in the passage
A．Because he unified China and created hanzi.
B．Because he helped developed hanzi in a more steady form.
C．Because hanzi evolved into a variety of different forms.
D．Because he was the inventor of Chinese characters.
33．What can we learn from the underlined sentence (划线句子) in Paragraph 4
A．Radicals can be combined into thousands of hanzi only.
B．Chinese characters can be combined.
C．Chinese characters are composed of radicals.
D．Radicals are smaller parts which can be combined to form hanzi.
34．What may the writer probably talk about Chinese characters in the next paragraph

35．Which would be the best title for the passage

（2023·广东广州·广州市玉岩中学校考二模）In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it’s a non-working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.
The exact origin（起源）of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages’ when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest（神父）on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was locked and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn’t open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.
One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers（做礼拜的人）put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, and that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating their time services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.
